Real Kids Shades is the world's leading innovator of premium quality, 100% UV protective eyewear for infants and children up to age 12. 

Since 2002, we've made it our mission to protect as many children's eyes as possible from the damaging effects of UV radiation. The idea was simple. Offer affordable, real sunglasses designed just for kids. And manufacture them with the best materials available and ensure they block 100% of the sun's harmful rays.

Benefits and Features at a Glance

Sun Protection - Real Kids Shades are not accessories. They're necessary sun protection. They provide 100% protection from eye damaging UV-A & UV-B rays. Wrap-around frames minimise exposure to harmful peripheral light.

Safety - Above all, we always put safety first. Our sunglasses are lead-free with no bisphenol A and no phthalates.

Durability - All Real Kids Shades are made to be outgrown before they're worn out. Our polycarbonate lenses and frames are shatterproff and impact resistant. Our TPE frames are super-flexible and bendable and our Xylex frames are extremely light and tough. Our neoprene bands are made from the same stuff wetsuits are made from.

Comfort - Real Kids Shades are extremely comfortable. They don't pitch like some other sunglasses because they're specifically designed to fit kids' faces and heads. Not too big, not too small. Just right.

Flexibility - Our Flex and Flex Duo frames are made from TPE - a rubber-like material that bends and twists but doesn't loose it's shape. 

8 Patents - We hold six US Patents and two Australian Patents. We're approved by the US Food & Drug Administration and comply with all European product, safety, health and environmental standards.

Rx Capable - Some Real Kids Shades frames have been tested by board-certified opticians and found effective for fitting both high-minus and high-plus powers of prescription lenses.

Warranty - Real Kids Shades meet the highest quality standards. That's why we're confident enough to back all our sunglasses with a 100% replacement warranty.

Value - Real Kids Shades proves you don't have to spend a fortune to get premium, high performance sunglasses for kids. When you add it all up, our prices are a small amount to pay for the incredible protection our sunglasses provide.

Where We're Sold - After ten successful years, Real Kids Shades are now sold in over 1,500 retail stores and 32 countries, including Europe, Asia, South America and now in South Africa as well!
